Billy Graham: I Believe There Is Intelligent Life In Outer Space - And These Beings Probably Look Like Us

The Rev. Billy Graham firmly believes that intelligent life is thriving on other planets - and that these outer-space aliens probably look amazingly like people on Earth.

"Our solar system is just one of billions in God's colossal Creation - and I find it very hard to believe He would have created only one living planet, Earth," the famed evangelist declared in an exclusive interview.

"I firmly believe there is intelligent life in outer space - beings who probably look very much like the average American." Speaking for the first time ever about his belief in extra- terrestrial life, Rev. Graham said he believes:

1. Outer-space beings have the capability to visit Earth - but would come in peace.

2. They worship God, just as we do.

3. They could hold the solution to many of Earth's problems.

Rev. Graham said advanced civilizations probably exist on many of the planets in our far-flung universe. "And I feel they have developed space vehicles capable of reaching Earth," he added.

"I don't believe that all reported UFO sightings can be dismissed as mere figments of the imagination. Without doubt, there have been legitimate sightings of flying objects which cannot be explained."

America's most famous evangelist said he bases his startling conclusions not only on his own deep religious beliefs - but also on extensive discussions with leading U.S. space experts. He explained:

"I've discovered that many of America's top scientists and astronauts - who are actively investigating the question of extraterrestrial life - share my view. I firmly believe there are intelligent beings like us far away in space who worship God. But we would have nothing to fear from meeting these people. Like us, they are God's creation.

"And if we should eventually make contact with these civilizations, it would be one of the biggest breakthroughs in the history of mankind. It's mind-boggling to imagine how much we could learn from them.

"They're probably at least as advanced as us, and possibly more advanced - which means they may have found answers to many of the problems we face on Earth. Disease, war, environmental pollution may be nonexistent on these other living planets.

"But my biggest hope would be that they are loving, caring societies who are at peace with God and free from sin. I see no reason why other planets should be cursed with the riots, demonstrations, wars and rebellions which threaten the future of our civilization."

Though outer-space beings are constantly depicted in science fiction novels as bizarre creatures, the Rev. Graham does not believe that is the case.

"I feel they probably look just like you and me," he said. "And just like us, they are anxious to know more about life in other parts of God's great universe.

"From my studies of the Scriptures, I can find nothing that would change our faith in the Gospel if we discover life on other planets. "And our society would benefit greatly by the discovery - we would have everything to gain!" - Rev. Billy Graham

And I suppose he believes that Jesus was crucified on those other planets as well, since he believes they worship God. That is not biblical.

Bro.Revivalglory... Bro. Billy Graham does not say so in this post. I am sure he does not believe that Lord Jesus Christ was crucified on other planets.

And, when he says they worship God....he must be knowing what he says.

I did read in a real UFO encounter story that those beings believe in the existence of a Supreme Being who governs the universe and that they abide by the Laws of the Creator (even possibly more than us). The persons who met them in the UFO and talked to them were overwhelmed by their loving and gentle behaviour, gestures and talk and their concern for us. They came to the conclusions that they were indeed more spiritual and scientifically advanced than us.

Although i agree that some of the UFOs could also be part of Satan and its evil forces. But, i also believe that some of the UFOs are part of God and Godly forces too.

The Bible says, God has put all things under the feet of Lord Jesus Christ.

Concerning Lord Jesus Christ, the Bible also says in Ephesians 4:9-11 that "Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things". So, Lord Jesus Christ is above all just like God The Father is above all creatures in the Universe.

The Bible alone does not explain all the mysteries concerning God, His Universe and His Creation. I strongly believe that there is much more, Truths out there, than what we may get out of reading and understanding the Bible alone. Although such Truths may not always be proved with a Scripture Verse.

But, the UFOs are indeed mentioned in the Bible. The Book of Exodus, Ezekiel and Zechariah clearly mention about them. All these are clearly explained on the site http://www.bibleufo.com which contains a lot of Scripture Verses with explanation of each Verse. The best way is to go through the site completely and draw the conclusions.

Lord bless you

Alien beings are demonic manifestations. They cannot exhibit love. They are of satan. They are demons. Yes, they believe in God because the bibles states that demons believe and tremble.

A few races of Alien Beings maybe harmful to humans like for example some of the Reptilians. Demons are different creatures. Aliens are different creatures. Not all Alien beings are linked to Evil. Gray Aliens are extremely loving and sacrificial and have genuine concern for all mankind.

"Aliens" are mentioned as "Watchers" in the Book of Enoch ( http://www.earth-history.com/Pseudepigraph.../enoch-main.htm ) which was earlier regarded as part of Holy Scripture by our Early Church Fathers. Although in the Book of Enoch these "Watchers" (or Aliens) are considered as rebellious beings which need to repent and be reconciled to God, we also see in the Book of Daniel and Jeremiah (in Bible) that "Watcher" (or Aliens) are mentioned as part of Almighty God's side (Daniel 4:13,17,23, Jeremiah 4:16).

To be honest with you, I would say that this is but a further indication of how serioulsy messed up Billy Graham is getting. He started off well, but he has compromised so much that it's beyond a joke. To give an indiciation of what I mean, consider the fact that he's a 33rd level Mason: extremely high ranking in the Masonic Lodge. Yes, I realise that this may be an "honourary" position, but no Christian, especially not one in his position, should be getting involved with the Lodge. Re Aliens, I would say that revivalglory is correct when she identifies them with devils; especially where abduction stories are concerned.
